Ummm... not for that kind of money.

2012 Ram 2500 & 3500 Models | 2500 Mega Cab & Power Wagon | Ram Trucks

The factory built/warrantied far superior truck chassised Dodge Power Wagon starts at $46k....You could buy two Power Wagons or a Power Wagon and a 40 mpg Dart and a stripper JK two door for what they will ask for that Brute crew cab.

For $46 K you get standard on a Power Wagon:
CrewCab 4x4 w/ 6.4-Foot Box
17-Inch Aluminum Wheels
Electric Winch
Tru-Lok® Front and Rear Axles+
4.56 Rear Axle Ratio
Front Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar
Fuel Tank Skid Plate Shield
Power Wagon® Off-Road Group+ Stripe and Badge Molding
Transfer Case Skid Plate Shield
Media Center w/ AM/FM Radio, CD Player and WMA/MP3 Jack
A/C
Six Speakers
Vinyl 40/20/40 Split Bench Front Seat
Speed Control
Cloth-Trimmed Seats
Overhead Console
Power Door Locks
180-Amp Alternator
Cruise Control
Remote Keyless Entry
SiriusXM Satellite Radio+
Class IV Trailer Tow Hitch Receiver
w/ 4- and 7-pin Wire Harness
Trailer Brake Control

Re-badge a version of that as a Jeep and have the most capable on AND off-road Jeep truck ever. even with the Pentastar engine the JK Unlimited is held to a 3,500 pound trailer limit due to chassis ans suspensions issues....
